Junkyard Gold Manchester | First Street

My memories of golf range from rounds of the mini kind when I was younger and trying (and failing) at the driving range and barely hitting a decent distance. Tiger Woods I am not. Luckily, when it involves a pun, a bar and some good times, you can count me in.

Junkyard Golf Club combines all of those things under one newly relaunched roof, taking them from their previous home in Piccadilly Manchester to First Street, with a third, new course added. Having done the previous two courses, we went for Bozo - a clown and circus inspired course.

Expect the unexpected and be prepared to be wowed by their attention to detail, standout sets and puns every corner you turn, which for a writer like me, is an absolute dream. And with a bar half way round the course, you can quench your thirst, or do a shot or three if you need to drown your sorrows on how badly you're doing.

Luckily, I won. I got worse as we went round but it's the taking part that counts I guess... And despite the outcome you can bust a move to the music, Instagram every neon sign and grab a hotdog for under £3 - so everyone's onto a winner really.
